Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
Just curious, for anyone playing. Is Tebow still right handed? -

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
Strange about there being no handedness on players. That's been a standard feature in most sports videogames since at least the mid-'90s.
I remember Mark Brunell and Steve Young were lefties in the original Blitz:

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
Please keep the info coming. Really ridiculous they couldn't even get the left handed QB;s down, how does something like that not even get addressed?Comment

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
Uniforms appear to be random. The home and away unis are both in the game as I have seen them. Seems to be random though as to what the teams wear. I have played games where the uniforms are worn correctly and then where both teams have worn their colored uniforms.
Have not seen both teams wearing white at the same time though.
There are a ton of unlocks, from cheats to fantasy teams, big head mode, football colors, cheerleaders, etc. To get these, at least the main way would be to buy with "bonus bucks" that one gets from playing online. Too bad I don't care to play sports games online, maybe this game wouldn't be so bad though.Originally posted by ImTellinTimComment

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
I just played the original and Brunell and Young throw lefty when you roll out to the left, but righty when you roll out to the right. Its the same with other QBs, regardless of handedness. But I guess the nitpickedness of today's sports game required this be absolutely correct.Comment

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
I'm enjoying it. Plays just like the blitz I remember... Minus the late hits though, which is def a bummer.Comment

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
Sure, I'll give it a try. The rules say though that one cannot use a cheat code online that changes the gameplay. I don't have any cheat codes unlocked as of yet with the exception of the NFL Blitz ball which I assume one could use. Not sure if that code saved as I just randomly hit it before a game I played.
Oh and I did unlock the Cheese Head team, a Green Bay team with men wearing overalls and the triangle cheese on their heads. They are a boss team in the ladder type mode.
Up for a game with a rookie send me a PSN request, OPD188.Originally posted by ImTellinTimComment

Re: NFL Blitz Impressions
This is not my impression, i found it on the EA forums. He seems to reference OS.
Eghh, I must say, even with having mid level expectations, this game is somewhat disappointing. The gameplay is very true to past Blitz's (Mainly Blitz 20-03). The game is much slower than nearly every previous version, which really does throw experienced users off, and I am sure will take some getting used to. The fact that there isn't a create a play is a disappointment. Even if they had a watered down version of the playmaker, it would be alright. I mean we could do this on the N64, how is this not an option on a seventh generation system? Also, something I found annoying is that left-handed QB's are righty. Tebow, Vick etc. This is actually something that really upset me. Even though it does not matter which side you roll out on in this game, the level of authenticity is nearly non-existent. I remember Brunell and Steve Young being left handed for N64. Again, really unacceptable.
Online is o.k. the server seemed fine, and I crushed my only opponent 35-3. Also another bug, is the fact that you cannot choose your jerseys. I was playing Raiders vs. Texans, and both had on black/navy jerseys. I have heard this was a problem from someone else on another site.
Lastly, these rosters are so insanely outdated/inconsistent with real life performance. As I am sure that some of you guys may no, there are a handful of players that are not even on their teams anymore, and a ton of deserving players that are not in the game. What I don't get is if a star LB gets left out (i.e. Lance Briggs) why do they not just put him on the line? Its ridiculous!
I simply do not understand how a game in production for this long, have what is portrayed to be a dedicated level of keeping the game as closely similar to the old versions as possible, and being over a 2 GB game, have this many absences.
I think I am being very generous in giving this game a 6/10, and if it wasn't for my fondness of the series, this would be an easy 5 or 4.5 out of 10.Last edited by bigball12; 01-03-2012, 11:23 PM.Comment
